Next step -- a breast ultrasound. I'll keep everyone posted. Well, the mammogram revealed cysts that I wasn’t aware of. Next step — a breast ultrasound. I’ll keep everyone posted.

I think we should be feeling lucky that things are being done to keep us healthy and alive longer, rather than just burying us and moving on when we're done having kids.

Pap smear from the time you're 18 and then mammogram after 35. I have a family history of breast cancer. So this really gets me worried. But I do appreciate the openness.

Maybe you should commiserate with that stressed-out "former co-worker" and new mom you crapped all over in your last <a href="http://blog.imperfectparent.com/2007/10/11/how-to-avoid-the-inconveniences-of-pregnancy" rel="nofollow">post</a>. Too bad they didn't perform an empathy transplant while they were at it. Heh. Hey!

I've had people tell me that they've had them and been in horrible pain with one tech, dreading and dreading having to go back but then finding that a different tech made it totally no big deal, so they thought it was okey dokey and then they have yet a different tech who is sadistic again the next time. I don't know how you'd find who is naughty and who is nice, other than word of mouth. I haven't had one and don't plan on it until after I'm 40. I have my Mirena, which is in place for 5 years, so I don't have to worry now. You should get you a Mirena, Jess! I’ve heard the entire experience depends on the mammogram tech.

I have a really low tolerance for pain too, so I was quite surprised. It wasn't fun or comfortable by any means, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't unbearable (well for long anyway) and I had no pain afterwards. Every woman I know who's had one done says they are excruciating, so now I'm thinking maybe they did mine wrong!
